The iced pumpkin horchata coffee was the best coffee I’ve had in Ocean City. It’s a shame they are closing for the season tomorrow. You can follow the instagram for where they will be next. Highly recommend !

They give you good portions, and a decent selection of meats to choose from. However, the taste, juiciness, and quality was just not there. We ordered the chorizo, barbacoa, and steak tacos. We also ordered a frozen horchata latte.The chorizo taco is not the flavor pack that I expected. It was actually quite plain. The barbacoa taco was better. It had more flavor and was juicier. The steak taco was a total let down because it tasted unseasoned and it was chewy and on the dry side.The frozen horchata tasted like a milk-y smoothie with a slight horchata flavor. There was no dairy-free milk option.The prices are also quite high for what it is, but I get beach food is always on the pricier side.These tacos are decent for what the area provides. However, they aren't comparable to Mexican food from Texas or Southern California.

I went this weekend and was the first place I visited for dinner and it was Great From their agua de horchata to the meals! Me and my husband had tortas i had pastor and he had steak and both were Very good. Steak needed just a Little more seasoning but over all it was great my child had a quesadilla and rice and it was so authentic, the cheese!!? We had to go back for breakfast the next day! So we did and again it did not disappoint! It was delicious and their Conchas were so fresh and soft! Our last day Monday we wanted to go back but unfortunately they didnt open until 11am and we had to leave back home. But definitely was a great spot to eat and if we go back to OCMD we will definitely return!!

I just wanted to grab a bite to eat on the beach, but I did not realize I would have the best Mexican food I ever tried, including my time in Mexico. The carnitas, chorizo, and bistek quesadillas with the chihuaha cheese and fresh corn tortillas, trio of salsas and pickled red onions combined for an out of this world eating experience! The service is very friendly and attentive.

Amazing selection of drinks, including an horchata latte. I also got a guava empanada that was so tasty. Love this place! The staff are very friendly. AND they use PAPER straws, no plastic here! Truly conscientious and working to protect the ocean - what a great company!
I can't race about this place enough! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was SO GOOD! So much flavor and great portions. And you must try their Horchata. The best I've ever had!

This place was AWFUL ! but if you have no taste buds and enjoy unseasoned food, come here & be served by the owner who does not know how to be professional or take any critism! I got the steak (bistec) tacos and they were disgusting! they had no flavor, i enjoy my meat seasoned well and this just was not what I was expecting after seeing the 4.6 stars. The amount of meat they put on the tacos are generous but the tortillas are so small that i had to take out so much of the meat they shouldve gave 2 tortillas per taco if theyre gonna put that amount of meat. We even had to get salt for the tacos, salsa, guac, and pinto beans. Pinto beans were especially awful as they were plain, even salt didnt help. Its obvious that the owner does not like when people complain because another person in my party had complained about her drink and the owner did not take that lightly. All she wanted was a different drink due to the one she got tasting just like milk. Owner said no refunds bc its a small business but everything is expensive. She ended up giving my friend a different drink but did it with such attitude. She SLAMMED the drink on the counter causing it to spill all over. VERY DISRESPECTFUL. If you look at the reviews, she snaps back at the people giving their opinion about their experience. They need to learn how to cook better or something because at this point theyre just ripping people off by claiming the food is authentic and tasty because its not. Ive been to mexico, i have mexican friends and never have i tasted such awful foodThe people give the good ratings must be uncultured and have bad taste buds so dont be fooled. Some of the food that is shown on the reviews and menu online isnt on the menu in person. we paid $100 for just 3 people and if theyre making that much off a small party, they should be able to afford to satisfy the customers exchange. When we arrived, we saw the pasteries by the front and there was a fly flying around w the conchas and all. I wouldve taken a picture if i knew everything was going to taste awful. Also mind you, dont tip because they add graituity to the check, we had no idea until we saw the bill. Server wasnt that great either, we had to ask for refills when it was obvious we had nothing to wash down the flavorless food. she got $25 in total from me and my friend (2 separate checks) and she did barely anything.NEW REPLY - first of all, i would like to say we did not split the check in 3 ways, my half of the party paid for what we ate while my friend paid a portion and her daughter paid a portion. it isnt my friends fault she didnt like your ‘best selling’ drink because AGAIN it tasted like just milk, AND people can order the drink just because they want to try it not because they know its your best selling drin, how are we supposed to know your best selling drink???? the other drinks were fine according to her hence the reason she bought another. I tried it and let me say it just tasted straight like coffee not even horchata so i dont know what to tell you. as for the discount why would we want a discount when we had just paid for a drink and expressed that we didnt like the taste?? We only started complaining about the food until you said the food is fine and theres nothing wrong with it, we were going to walk out and not say anything. AND it wasnt the barista who gave us the replacement drink when you “caved” it was YOU. YOU slammed it on the counter and it spilled when you did that, you make yourself seem so kind to your good reviews but when someone write a bad one you just snap. Its not a good look for a “small business”. As for us criticizing the food before we even order, dont lie. we didnt complain at all we were having a hard time figuring out what we wanted since what we wanted wasnt on the menu. We complained to ourselves that we didnt like the food. and as i said before we forced ourselves to eat the food ONLY BECAUSE WE HAD TO PAY. and your server was nice and helping but wasnt overwhelmed as she did the bare minimum. we are good tippers, but she didnt do much. dont lie

FOOD WAS BAD. EVERYTHING. Only ate it because I knew I had to pay for such bad food. I got the steak tacos and tried both the mild, medium, and spicy salsa and they just tasted bad. didn't even use it on my tacos. The tomatoes in the pico de gallo were soggy and tasted like they were made a different day, id know because I cook. My daughter got the shredded chicken torta and the shredded chicken as explain by the server is BOILED with seasoning but when we tried it, it had no flavor at all. She barley ate anything, we took the food home thinking we'd eat it later but we couldn't eat it again, it was even worse later on. We also got the chips and salsa and the tomatoes were burnt causing the salsa to have a burnt taste and pieces of the burnt tomato in it. We tried adding salt to help the taste but the salt wasn't even enough. We didn't even finish it. The guacamole had too much lime. Pinto beans were bland. The steak tacos I had weren't great either I don't know why the server would say she likes it if its so plain. I asked her about the quesadillas and she made it obvious that it wasn't that great or her favorite. don't come here because the owner is crazy and doesn't like when people don't agree that the food is great, its not. Its bad. They need to reevaluate how they make their food because its a disgrace to say this is authentic Mexican food when most mexicans make AMAZING FOOD. If the owner even is Mexican, then sorry to say you and your kitchen staff just don't know how to properly season your food. The owner is a very nasty person as you can see in the replies to the BAD reviews she needs to take constructive criticism and just do better. Also the hair in the food in the other review is DISGUSTING and I wouldn't have wanted you to remake the food either knowing that the food sucks.

Apparently you can't form your own opinion of this place, was told everyone liked it, the staff, the customers, wasn't sure why I didn't.Horchata Latte 10/10 (LOVED!)Mexican Mocha Latte 0/10 (was just expensive milk)Steak Tacos 7/10Carnitas 9/10Chicken Torta 0/10 (the chicken looked WHITE, was bland)Chorizo quesadilla 8/10Guacmole appetizer 5/10Chips & Sala appetizer 0/10 ( was too bland, these are usually free at restaurants)Barbacoa Tacos 6/10Pinto Beans Side 0/10 (these had NO FLAVOR)Mexican Sweet Bread - did not purchase any, there were flies inside the glass container, just sitting on the breadParty of 7, bill a little over $200, was not told gratuity was included, not listed on menu either, it is listed on the bill though. The server was very nice, our issue is that the table was not cleared of finished dishes, we had to keep asking for water refills.Asked to have a drink replaced as it was disgusting, was told no, that everyone liked it and guess I should too?!?! Was offered a discount for another drink, as they are a small business, cannot be replaced. Funny as one of their responses to a review said that they should have let them know as they'd adjust it, was not the case for me! Was finally basically thrown a new drink and given disgusting looks from the entire staff in the front while waiting. Would I go back? ONLY for the Horchata Latte (taken to go!) bc that was absolutely delicious, eat in? definitely NO!

Loved that they had vegan carnitas! The mushrooms could've been better seasoned, but their salsa helped, otherwise the flavors were great. They also had plant based milk options for coffees and lates
